Sienna Galeon

"Stop it. Sienna, no one can go in. Let the Doctor do his job." Dimitri says, pulling me back from the door that has Nico on the other side.

"But Donovon went in!" I shout pushing against him and trying to reach the door knob.

"He actually went to med school believe it or not." He mentions while hissing in pain when I elbow him in his gut, but his grip on both my arms stay put. "Which means he is more of help if needed."

I wanted so badly to be by Nicos side. My heart is beating wildly--I am in a frenzy. Needing to know what's going on inside that door. Worried beyond belief...we may not be 'close' or friends, but dammit he is still my fiance.

Dimitri whispers down my ear, "go get cleaned up. I am sure they are almost finished."

Giving up my fight with him I yank out of his grip and whirl around to face him, my face probably all pink from crying, "fine. But I better be the first to be notified when he is out." Then I walk down the hall towards Nicos room. My heels clicking onto the hard wood floors.

When I walk into the bedroom I freeze in my steps seeing a young woman, possibly my age wearing what Rue and the other servants wear. Black shirts with black slacks with work shoes that look comfortable to work in. Her blonde hair is beautiful with it curled and loose, she is tall and has a slim shape body--fit and athletic looking.

"Excuse me, hi." I announce myself formally as she had her back to me. She looks to be changing the bedsheets off the bed.

I guess I startled her because she yelps and spins around, eyes wide and mouth open, "oh! Miss Galeon! How nice to meet you in person finally." Her voice sounded over the top cheerful, "I was waiting here to see if Nicolai was okay and figured I'd change the sheets on his bed in the mean time."

Nicolai. She says his name so intimately. Not Master, Pahkan, or Boss.

She looks familiar honestly, something about her facial features. Her eyes gave it away, "are you...related to Rue?" I ask her not trying to make it sound rude. I may have put Rue into my no friends list but this girl seems innocent, "what's your name?"

"Erica. And yes Rue is my grand mama."

Erica.

The girl who helped get Nico dressed that one time when he requested her by name. Does she always help him get dressed? If so, does she also help put his underwear on?

It kind of bothers me. I don't think it should, yet I feel this ugly green monster climb up my shoulders, "that's cool. But unfortunately Nicolai will need his fiancée to look out for him. So don't fret about waiting around. Your 'Master' is in good hands with me." I inform her with a smile trying to hide the bite in my tone.

Her eyes flash and her smile fades a little, the white knuckled grip on the bed sheet causes the fabric to twist a little in her hands, "well...okay. Let me know when he gets here?" She asks, almost sounded too eager to my liking.

It's kind of weird that her accent is not quite like Rues nor the others. It's more southern drawl than anything.

"Sure." I quip in reply. 

With that she finishes up the bed and leaves. Sighing harshly I go ahead to the bathroom and wash my face from today's events. 

After I finished and dry my face with a small towel I go and sit on the bed remembering everything that had happened at that store. Nico had saved my life and put his own life at risk.

If anything happens to him I wouldn't forgive myself.

I've already fallen in deep and I know this time, I may never come back up for air with what I feel for the Pahkan.

It's almost seven o'clock when I finally hear from the twins. They wheeled Nico into the bedroom, he looks out of it, dozing off here and there when they help him into his side of the bed. I help to by fluffing his pillows and laying beside him. He doesn't speak a word nor seems to care when I place my hand against his clothed chest. He is wearing a grey t shirt and black sweat pants. Pulling the blanket with my other hand I snuggle both of us together and breath in his spicy and woodsy smell while my head rests beside his.

The Doctor comes in and stands by the bed. "What happened? Will he be okay, Doctor?" I question lowly, trying to not be so loud by Nicolai as he rests.

"He is fine. He just used alot of energy today especially with his legs." The Doctor provides.

"He was standing on his two feet, will he...be able to walk again?" Was I being nosy, yes.

The Doctor frowns down at me, "there is a possibility but at most he will be using a cane for the rest of his life. The adrenaline in his blood was a major factor of him getting to you in time with his legs. Thus why his energy he used over exhilarated him. Which caused him to pass out."

I didn't care if he could walk or not...hell I didn't care if he were to be in that wheelchair for the rest of his life. Thankful he is okay is the most important to me.

The Doctor finally leaves along with Dimitri and Donovon.  Leaving us both in the bedroom laying beside each other.

Nico sleeps soundly for the better part of two hours, but me, I couldn't sleep. Just staring at the side of his face and rubbing his covered chest with my hand soothingly.  "You scared me today...I thought...for a second I lost you because of me. It's my fault you had to protect me like that. Why didn't you just let it be?" I whisper hoarsely, "I am after all just a daughter of your enemy."

My eyes slowly drift a little until I hear a deep voice beside me say, "no one's fault but mine. I warned you about wanting to marry me, what it would obtain. And thats a price on my head."

Too tired to really keep this conversation I snuggle more into his side. Could have sworn feel his hand laying atop my hand that is laying on his chest.

Sleep almost takes me when the voice speaks again, "мои враги теперь твой ангел."

'My enemies are now yours, Angel.'

My eyes close when I say my last parting words groggily, "Erica is to be replaced of her duty for getting you dressed, mio caro."

Finally the darkness takes me into the world of sleep.
